Muppets and hot tubs are being promised to readers of a new book written by Greg Smith, the former Goldman Sachs derivatives trader who quit the bank in a blaze of publicity this year.

Mr Smith’s tell-all tome, Why I Left Goldman Sachs, will be published in the United States on October 22 and, according to the blurb, will recount the “shenanigans” of his time at Goldman and the “personal journey” that led to his controversial departure. The South African is rumoured to have received a $1.5 million advance from his publisher, Grand Central, a division of Hachette.
